Dark Chocolate Mocha Madness Latte

Happy Valentine’s Day! Try this delicious treat!

Below is our recipe for a delicious Dark Chocolate Mocha Madness Latte, featuring our rich Dark Chocolate Mocha Blend. Warm, creamy and sweet, this recipe is ideal for keeping any Valentine’s activity smooth, sweet and caffeinated! 

Here is what you’ll need:

– 1 cup of brewed Dark Chocolate Mocha Blend

– 1 cup of milk (dairy or a plant-based alternative)

– 2 tablespoons of dark chocolate chips or cocoa powder

– 1-2 tablespoons of granulated sugar (adjust to taste)

– 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract

– Whipped cream (optional for topping)

– Dark chocolate shavings or cocoa powder (for garnish, optional)

Directions:

1. Brew Strong Coffee: Brew a strong cup of coffee using your preferred coffee blend. You can make it extra strong if you prefer a robust coffee flavor.
2. Heat Milk: In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium-low heat. Ensure it’s hot but not boiling. Stir occasionally.
3. Add Dark Chocolate: While the milk is heating, add the dark chocolate chips or cocoa powder to a separate microwave-safe bowl. Heat them in the microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring each time until the chocolate is melted and smooth. This can also be done on the stovetop using a pot.
4. Sweeten and Flavor: Mix sugar and vanilla extract into the melted dark chocolate until well combined. Adjust the sweetness to your liking.
5. Froth the Milk: Once the milk is hot, froth it using a milk frother or whisk it vigorously until it forms a creamy foam.
6. Combine Ingredients: In a large mug, pour in the strong brewed coffee. Add the sweetened dark chocolate mixture and stir until well combined.
7. Pour the Frothed Milk: Gently pour the frothed milk into the mug, holding back the foam with a spoon. Once the mug is filled, scoop the remaining foam on top.
8. Garnish: Optionally, top your Dark Chocolate Mocha Madness with whipped cream and a sprinkle of dark chocolate shavings or cocoa powder.
9. Enjoy: Sip and savor your delicious dark chocolate mocha latte without espresso.
